You often find syndicates in work places where people have joined together to try their luck. There are other ways of playing as a syndicate even if you do not have a group to physically join though.

Make Some Decisions
Part of starting a lottery syndicate involves deciding on the basics. You will need to answer questions such as: who is going to be part of the syndicate? Who are you going to invite to be members? Then you need to consider things like how much each member pays for the draw? Can they have more than one entry? And if so, how is the split of winnings worked out? Running a syndicate is a big responsibility. It means keeping track of all of the payments received and being responsible for sorting out any disagreements and issues. Things like what happens if someone doesn’t make a payment on a winning week has to be thought about. All of these things should form part of the lottery syndicate agreement that everyone signs. In the event of any disagreements this document will provide the way forward.

Do Not Get Too Personal
It is easy to fall out with friends when running something like a lottery syndicate. This is why it is so important to ensure that the agreement is set up and signed. This stops any confusion in the event of problems and gives the manager of the syndicate something to fall back on. It is necessary to keep something of a professional approach to running a syndicate and try and keep personal feelings out of it. This is the best way to keep things fair. Anyone who is part of your syndicate will understand that this is what you are doing. Be firm and remove anyone who does not pay on a regular basis from the group.

At the end of the day, being part of a syndicate should be a fun thing to do. It should not feel like a lot of effort for no reason. Even small winnings should be celebrated. It is a nice way of bringing a group of people together.
